You are talking about an adoption agency, I presume a private adoption agency, probably like the one my cousin adopted her two black and one biracial children from. I was talking about Baltimore City Department of Social Services. I agree that what they told us was "nonsense" but that is what they told us Again, we looked into private adoption and found, at least back in the early 90's that it was quite expensive and more than we could afford at the time. Your experience might have been different.
Never, ever go to the government for your babies. They play games.
Private agencies all, costs between four and twelve thousand each. adopted in the ninties. Should be less now with the big adoption tax credit.
